Seize the Birthday: Butterflies/Hummingbirds


Welcome to the newest challenge at Seize the Birthday, where our optional topping, chosen by our leader Nancy, is Butterflies or Hummingbirds! I do have a hummingbird stamp, but decided to go with butterflies for my card: 


These two butterflies came out of my stash of die cuts, and dictated the colours for my card. I used a turnabout stamp in two shades each of teal and purple for the wreath, then found a birthday sentiment that would fit nicely in the centre. After I added the two butterflies, the card still needed a little something, so I added a trio of sequins under the sentiment. 


Be sure to check out the beautiful birthday creations by the StB design team and our current surprise party guest, Deepti! Our toppings are always optional, so make a birthday card and join us! 

Supplies: Neenah white & (?) purple & teal cardstock, Concord & 9th Wreath Turnabout & Taylored Expressions Diamond Botanicals stamps, Catherine Pooler All That Jazz, Mint to Be & Serene & MFT Purple Rain ink, (?) die cut butterflies, Catherine Pooler Maui sequins

    Your creation for the challenge is charming. I love that the precut butterflies dictated the colors of your card. I only have one turn about the stamp and I am not sold yet. Yours looks like a wreath builder and I would be happy with that.

    This is so so pretty - delicate and beautiful. Great choice of colours and the delicate wreath goes perfectly with that butterfly die.
